I was working with the Intel Xorg driver today. I noticed a message in the log about systemd-logind. With a little research and discussion with Armin, I found that if I added --disable-systemd-logind to the xorg-server configuration instructions, that message goes away.

The message is harmless, but should we add that option to xorg-server?

For the Intel driver, we removed the /etc/Xll/xorg.conf because glamor is built into the xorg-server. That works, but I also have drivers for vesa and fbdev. When Xorg starts, it tries these drivers first and gives some warning/error messages.

If I add back /etc/Xll/xorg.conf with the simple contents of

Section "Device"
        Identifier "intel"
        Driver "intel"
#        For options, see 'man intel'
EndSection

it skips the other drivers and I get a clean Xorg.0.log. Is this worth mentioning in the book?

I don't have an ATI video card, but we probably need to revisit the section in Xorg Drivers labelled 'Glamor Acceleration'. The same can be said for the Xorg Nouveau Driver, but I can test that.

Feedback?
